NWZ-F886 handles files with 6x more information than a compact disc – blowing the D-50 out of the water – and does so with pinpoint clarity. The sound quality is so good in fact the technology outplays the headphones it comes with – and you’d be hard-pressed to find headphones under $100 with the capability.

Tech-minded audiophiles will love the functionality thanks in part to Android’s freewheeling OS. They’ll also enjoy the Triluminos display, OptiContrast panel and unparalleled battery life.

There’s no telling when/if the NWZ-F886 will make it overseas, but unlike Neil Young’s Pono, it’s available on this planet now, bug-free and engineered by one of the most trusted names in digital music. We’ll be happy to ship it to you.
